I had a blast with the Game personally with minimum bugs/glitches. It's Short, awesome, Fast paced, and Very Nostalgic of the Original Games that we as kids had fun with, and I'm also a Sucker for DBZ games andI love this game and I still keep coming Back to this game it just seems to have a charm that keeps me interested and looking for all the little things everywhere.

Simply put, the games of this collection are what DBZ Games should be. Simple to understand, easy to pick up and hard to put down again. Each game offers a decent sized roster of fighters, all of which are recognizable characters from the dragon ball universe.

Simple to understand, easy to pick up and hard to put down again. Each game offers a decent sized roster of fighters, all of which are recognizable characters from the dragon ball universe. The mechanics of each game are easy to understand and adapt to, especially the ones in Budokai 3 which eliminates spamming and severely decreases button mashing. Thanks to those tweaks, a newbie player can provide good competition to an expert or veteran player. My only gripes with this HD Collection are the fact that Budokai 2 is not part of the collection and the music has been changed. However, those two factors are not even close to turn offs, especially seeing as the music was changed due to kenji yamato (the guy responsible for the original music) was accused of plagiarism and in turn fired. Thus, the original music as removed and replaced to prevent future issues with copyright claims/ accusations of plagiarism.

In the end, this is a game any fighting game fan will enjoy, and any DBZ fan will enjoy even more. Definitely a must-have for xbox 360.…Expand

Dragon Ball Z is undoubtedly one of the best anime series of all time, many games were spawned off this franchise but the most well know series of games were the Budokai series. As far as the collection goes, it isn't great but its far from bad.

Budokai 3 still proves itself to be one of the standout games of its generation still holding its own against many great fighting games of today. Budokai 1 however has not aged as well, it feels sloppy and slow in comparison to the great Budokai 3. The absence of Budokai 2 is also a downfall of the collection as it is named "Budokai HD collection". The one thing that did bug me though was the music, entirely new music was used instead of sticking to the original tracks. Though these songs aren't bad the take away from the nostalgic feel of the games. Overall this collection is good but feels like a quick cash grab to a franchise that is struggling to stay alive. Budokai 3 is still great but Budokai 1 feels lacking. The absence of Budokai 2 and the original music do detract from the experience but don't entirely destroy the game. Hopefully the money they make from this release can but put towards a great fighting game for the Xbox 360 and PS3.…Collapse

Basically, it's the exact same game as the PS2 version back in the day with HD updates. If you're expecting new characters, multiplayer, and/or story expansion, you'll be disappointed. If you want to have the same fun you used to have with the original back in the day, pick it up.

The only down side with the Xbox version is when you go into the Battle Mode mini game when you have to rotate the analog stick(s) to win the bout. I've found myself hitting the Xbox guide button more than a couple times, which takes you out of the combat entirely, and sometimes it's hard to jump back in. That's my only complaint. Not even upset about lack of multiplayer personally. Bottom line: Love it on the PS2 back in the day? Get it, it's still worth the cash.…Expand

Short and sweet: This is a collection consisting of DBZ action in it's purest form. No filler, no gimmicky customization, and no odd ball gameplay mechanics trying to make it feel fresh.

Anyone looking for a deep, complex brawler is best be served elsewhere, but fans looking for some Super Saiya-jin action or younger folks that just want to button-mash will find something here to like.
